We've already done Cameron, Clegg, possibly Osbourne as well, also Thatcher, Putin, Bush (GW), Clinton. Bin Laden, Gorbachov, Major, Tony B Liar, Aytollah Khomeini and many others.
Sporting Index now has us favourites to be 4th with 62-63.5 points. Half a point better than Liverpool and two better than Chelsea who would come 5th and 6th. Arsenal are 79.5-81 and will finish 3 points behind City according to the market.
Arsenal are 4 pts up on us after 1/3 of the season. I can't see them beating us by 16-19pts. I think we'll hold course better than them as our bench is closer to our starting XI compared to theirs. Of course there will be times where their form is just too good for us to keep up with but at other times I see us chipping away at them
"Sporting Index now has us favourites to be 4th with 62-63.5 points. Half a point better than Liverpool and two better than Chelsea who would come 5th and 6th." Going to be high 60s, based on the past few seasons.
History has repeated in a striking way. In 2011 after an opening day loss at Old Trafford, we went on an 11 game unbeaten run. Granted, in 2011, the unbeaten run started the third game, not the second, since we lost to Man City the second game, but even so it’s quite a coincidence.
I always thought that Corbyn was a twat. This confirms it!.... http://metro.co.uk/2015/11/11/jerem...rt-behind-arsenal-boss-arsene-wenger-5494717/

More terrorist attacks in Paris tonight. Seems to be on a large, organised scale with at least 60 dead. Very disturbing.
Most worrying is that they seem to have the resources to replicate the Mumbai attacks with several gunmen and bombers across the city. And the success(from their POV not mine, obviously) of the attack on the Bataclan especially. To leave around 100 dead at a single location with plenty more severely injured is atrocious. No news on whether the France match will be cancelled this week but as much as we want to carry on with our lives in defiance I can't see how it would be a good idea. Every country's government and counter-terrorism unit needs to be looking at their procedure and how they can react to these kinds of attacks when the intelligence and prevention at source fails. Anyway thoughts and prayers with all the victims and their families as well as the Parisians who've had to go through a second awful attack in just a year.
I think what's worrying is, as I said, they seem to be able to strike in Paris at will. That seems to say something about French intelligence services. I'm sure they'd love to do something similar in London, we can only assume that our security services are better organised - so far!...
